Fundacion e Imperio / Foundation and Empire

Isaac Asimov

Fundacion e Imperio es el cuarto volumen del Ciclo de la Fundacion , pero tambien la segunda parte de la original Trilogia de la Fundacion o Ciclo de Trantor , que puede leerse independientemente y que fue galardonada con el Premio Hugo a la mejor serie de ciencia ficcion de todos los tiempos.

Guiada por su fundador, el gran psicohistoriador Hari Seldon, y gracias a su superioridad cientifica y tecnologica, la Fundacion ha logrado sobrevivir a la amenaza de barbarie y avaricia de sus planetas vecinos. Pero ahora debe enfrentarse al Imperio, que, pese a su decadencia, sigue siendo la fuerza mas poderosa de la galaxia.

Cuando un ambicioso general empenado en restaurar la gloria del Imperio envia una vasta flota imperial a destruir la Fundacion, la unica esperanza para el pequeno planeta de eruditos y cientificos se encuentra en las profecias de Hari Seldon. Pero ni siquiera el mismo Hari Seldon podria haber previsto el nacimiento de una extraordinaria criatura llamada el Mulo, una inteligencia mutante dotada de poderes paranormales capaces de convertir al humano de voluntad mas ferrea en el mas docil esclavo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The second novel in Isaac Asimov’s classic science-fiction masterpiece, the Foundation series

THE EPIC SAGA THAT INSPIRED THE APPLE TV+ SERIES FOUNDATION, NOW STREAMING

Led by its founding father, the psychohistorian Hari Seldon, and utilizing science and technology, the Foundation survived the greed and barbarism of its neighboring warrior-planets. Now cleverness and courage may not be enough. For the Empire-the mightiest force in the Galaxy-is even more dangerous in its death throes. Even worse, a mysterious entity called the Mule has appeared with powers beyond anything humanly conceivable. Who-or what-is the Mule? And how is humanity to defend itself against this invulnerable avatar of annihilation?

Filled with nail-biting suspense, nonstop action, and cutting-edge speculation, is the story of humanity’s perpetual struggle against the darkness that forever threatens to overwhelm the light-and of how the courage of even a determined few can make all the difference in the universe.
